A Cross for All Who Wash the Feet of the World

The story of Jesus washing the feet of his twelve apostles (John 13:1-17) has found special poignancy and relevance in the example of Pope Francis, the “Servant of the Servants of God.” On March 28, 2013, Holy Thursday, in a Roman youth prison, Pope Francis washed the feet of the young, including those of two young women, one of whom was a Muslim from Serbia. What a beautiful example of washing the feet of the world.

The reverse side reads in German: Dienet einander mit der Gnadengabe wie Sie ein jeder empfangen hat als treue Sachwalter der mannigfachen Gnade Gottes.

Translation: Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

John 13:1-17

It was before Passover, and Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and to return to the Father. He had always loved his followers in this world, and he loved them to the very end. Even before the evening meal started, the devil had made Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, decide to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that he had come from God and would go back to God. He also knew that the Father had given him complete power. So during the meal Jesus got up, removed his outer garment, and wrapped a towel around his waist. He put some water into a large bowl. Then he began washing his disciples’ feet and drying them with the towel he was wearing. But when he came to Simon Peter, that disciple asked, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered, “You don’t really know what I am doing, but later you will understand.” “You will never wash my feet!” Peter replied. “If I don’t wash you,” Jesus told him, “you don’t really belong to me.” Peter said, “Lord, don’t wash just my feet. Wash my hands and my head.” Jesus answered, “People who have bathed and are clean all over need to wash just their feet. And you, my disciples, are clean, except for one of you.” Jesus knew who would betray him. That is why he said, “except for one of you.” After Jesus had washed his disciples’ feet and had put his outer garment back on, he sat down again. Then he said: Do you understand what I have done? You call me your teacher and Lord, and you should, because that is who I am. And if your Lord and teacher has washed your feet, you should do the same for each other. I have set the example, and you should do for each other exactly what I have done for you. I tell you for certain that servants are not greater than their master, and messengers are not greater than the one who sent them. You know these things, and God will bless you, if you do them.
